100 Thieves win again, one win from FlyQuest rematch

Only one team stands between 100 Thieves and a rematch with FlyQuest.

Thieves had little trouble with getting by RED Canids on Sunday, winning 3-0 to advance to the lower-bracket final at the League of Legends Championship of The Americas in Allen, Texas.

Thieves will face Keyd Stars in the lower-bracket final on Sept. 27 after Stars were bounced 3-0 by FlyQuest in the upper-bracket final on Saturday. With the win, Thieves also qualify for the world championship in China in October.

The season finale for Championship of the Americas (LTA) is a double-elimination tournament featuring the top teams from the North and South leagues based on previous tournaments. All matches best-of-five with the top three teams qualifying for the world championship. Thieves became the final team to lock up a spot in China with Sunday's win.

Thieves fell to FlyQuest 3-1 in the North 2025 Split 3 grand final on Sept. 7. That forced Thieves to have to win three straight matches to reach the grand final while FlyQuest only had to win one.

On Sunday, Thieves beat Red Canids in 31, 37 and 31 minutes. Thieves played on blue in the first and third maps and on red in the middle map.

South Korean Lim "Quid" Hyeon-seung led Thieves with 29 kills in the three maps and a final 29-1-26 kill-death-assist-ratio in the win. Bill "Eyla" Nguyen of Australia had a match-high 47 assists in the win. Brazil's Francisco Natanael "fNb" Braz do Espirito Santo Miranda led Canids with 14 kills.

The lower-bracket final between Thieves and Stars will go down on Saturday, followed by the grand final the following day.
